Tournée Générale

A tour of local bars to discover today’s music: Tournée Générale, 3ᵉ edition!

Still deeply committed to live music on street corners, Le Périscope is teaming up with 12 venues in the 1ᵉʳˢ and 7ᵉ arrondissements, venues with a long track record, community bars, clubs, hostels, bookshops and churches for two evenings of wandering concerts.

2 tours, 2 evenings, 12 venues and 12 free concerts. One concert per hour, in a new venue each time, from 6pm to midnight.

On the programme: pop, trance, rock, electronic, trad and experimental music, sometimes contemplative, sometimes festive. All with one aim in mind: to explore today’s music and enjoy a collective experience, as you stroll the streets that cross our daily lives.

The poster for this third edition is by Félicité Landrivon (@brygadecynophile).

Wednesday 26 February ➞ Tour of the 7ᵉ arr.

𝟭𝟴𝗛 LES CLAMEURS • 23 Rue d’Aguesseau
Léonore Grollemund (Trad)
Cellist Léonore Grollemund explores the highly ornamented folk traditions of Auvergne and Central France, as well as those of the Gypsies of Romania, the musicians of Turkey and the Greek rebetes of a century ago. Between improvisations, popular music and sung compositions, she weaves a timeless memory where emotion still resonates, paying homage to ancestors and to those who fought for the freedom of today.

𝟭𝟵𝗛 ÉLISE SAINT-ANDRÉ • 19 Rue de Marseille
Lamina (Ambient/electronic)
Visual artist and musician Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle will be deploying her sonic and organic ecosystems in the heart of the Eglise Saint-André. Her marshy music and living ecosystems are created from field recordings. Streams of water, breaths and rumours, synthesis, collages and effects, all come together for an immersive, weightless experience.

𝟮𝟬𝗛 ATELIER DES CANULARS • 91 rue montesquieu
A_R_C_C (Expé)
Somewhere between a seriously sloping dance floor and a sharp noise sound system, Arnaud Rivière (A_R) and C_C (Édouard Ribouillault) join forces in the Association de Recherche Contre le Concert (A_R_C). Together, they use a self-constructed device built around photosensitive sensors and various LEDs to generate and modulate electronic music that is twisted in on itself, on the edge of minimal but not really chic.

𝟮𝟭𝗛 LE FLÂNEUR GUESTHOUSE • 56 rue Sébastien Gryphe
Dordogne (Trad)
Tempted by trance, caught up in techno, Dordogne’s music is an invitation to dance, influenced by the traditional music of the Massif-Central. Their electric sound textures, disconcerting bass lines and singular melodies take listeners back and forth between head and leg.

↓
𝟮𝟮𝗛 LA FABULEUSE CANTINE • 107 rue de Marseille
Balladur (Pop)
Since 2015, Balladur have been offering up some of the most unique pop-new wave, the duo from Villeurbanne have managed to hone a unique sound, a syncretism of influences as diverse as dub, folk and dance music, with an exotic, groovy post-punk ethos that will get the rumps moving.

↓
𝟮𝟯𝗛 LE COURT-CIRCUIT • 13 Rue Jangot
Warzabart (Électro)
Warzabart is the musical project of Gil.Barte (Kump) + Warzou (Big Science). Using abrasive sound textures and punk, dub and indus influences, the duo explore dystopian atmospheres that tear everything apart in their path. A post-apocalyptic approach to clubbing, all gas and electronic spasms.
